TLR 22SCT Short Course truck kit

Possibly the most hotly anticipated release from Team Losi Racing since their revolutionary 22 buggy, the 22 SCT has been developed by racers for racers and is set to bring new levels of performance to the popular 2WD SCT class. Sharing the same design philosophy as the TLR 22 Racing Buggy and TLR22T Stadium Truck before it, the 22 SCT is the world’s first Short Course Truck that can be built with either as a traditional 3-gear rear motor transmission or as a 4-gear mid motor transmission thus endowing it with true Global race appeal. From the dust and clay built tracks that typify the USA homelands, Australia and warm climates to the high-bite Astroturf and carpet venues that characterize much of Northern Europe, the TLR 22 SCT can be built to handle whichever way is fastest on whatever track surface is being raced on.

JConcepts 3Ds SCT race tire

JConcepts have released the 3Ds SCT race tire in blue and green compounds. Developed to be the ultimate slick-groove tire, the 3Ds are a first to combine the high-stability design of a black groove bar tire into an individually flexible pattern of finely spaced Double Dee lugs in one package. As racing on both indoor and outdoor conditions have matured, a more flexible, supremely grippy tire design was necessary to drive the edgy, fast pace. The 3Ds grip are a new, highly sought after, favorite in these conditions. Pre-mounted versions are also available for the SC10 RS, SC10 4×4 and Losi SCT-E.

JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals report

The third stop of the JConcepts Indoor National series made the trip to Outback Raceway in Chico, CA. The facility, otherwise known as A-Main Hobbies, is a 1:10 scale racers’ paradise. The dirt surface is amazing, there is minimal tire wear, the layout was flowing and the traction was hooked up. Then to top if off, all of A-Main Hobbies’ massive inventory is available at the click of a mouse. Team Associated made the trip up north with Steven Hartson and Brent Thielke and was joined by Jason Ruona and Tanner Denney for JConcepts. In the 2011 edition of this race, NorCal local Eric Albano was just a privateer. Fast forward to 2012 and he’s now a Reedy Race Touring Car Open Class champion for Team Associated and with a year under his belt with off-road vehicles making consistent top regional a-main events. Not to be forgotten is a return to RC for Seattle native, John Walentia.
